“We have been watching WSL and King of the Hammers have success with live streaming and have just been waiting for the opportunity and budget to livestream The Mint 400 at a level that we felt was worth of such an iconic race. In particular, King of the Hammers inspired us when they hit a milestone of 1 million unique viewers this year. We have taken note and pulled out all the stops including seven ground cameras, drone cameras, and live feeds from the helicopter. It’s time to show the world how remarkable desert off-road racing is,” stated Mint 400 CEO, Matt Martelli.

In addition, a leaderboard and tracking will be available to track your favorite racers throughout The Great American Off-Road Race.

“We have put together an all star team to produce the best live content that off-roading has ever seen headed up by industry veterans and off-road racer, Jason Markham. We believe the key to growing our sport and culture is putting people who are passionate about off-road in key positions. Jason produced the best off-road racing this culture has ever see when he was heading up the production of Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR). We plan on mixing our ultra-cinematic style production with traditional live coverage to create what we feel will be the best of both worlds,” stated Mint 400 COO, Josh Martelli.
